General Instructions
Read these instructions carefully because the form itself does not contain all the instructions. You cannot
adequately complete the RAP without following these instructions. The RAP is not a guidance document.
You must consult the TRRP rule and associated guidance documents to develop your RAP.
To whom does the RAP form apply?
The RAP is submitted by persons who will be conducting response actions under the Texas Risk
Reduction Program (TRRP) rule to attain Remedy Standard B or for those persons who choose not to
self-implement response actions to attain Remedy Standard A.
When is the RAP submitted?
Submit the RAP to the TCEQ for review and approval prior to commencing response actions to attain
Remedy Standard B or non-self-implementing Remedy Standard A. This does not preclude the person
from taking interim measures. Submit the APAR with the RAP unless the APAR was submitted
previously. If the APAR was previously submitted and additional data has been collected since that time,
include an amended APAR with the RAP if the APAR worksheets are needed to convey the information,
or include the data in the RAP.
How is the RAP submitted?
Submit a copy of this form to both the applicable TCEQ program area in the Austin Central Office and to
the appropriate TCEQ Region Office. The mailing address and phone number for each of the Regional
Offices may be found at http://www.tceq.state.tx.us/AC/about/directory/region/reglist.html. The address
for the Central Office is:

Page ___ of ____
Report Date:
Use this worksheet to describe the objectives for the response action in each media.
Response Action Objectives
List the environmental media to which this applies
Repeat this section for each medium that has a different response action objective.
State the property-specific response objectives for the PCLE zone in each media in the context of the
response objectives set forth in §350.32 or §350.33 as applicable. Explain how the response action is
appropriate based on the hydrogeologic characteristics, COC characteristics, and potential unprotective
conditions that could continue or result during the remedial period.
Explain how the COCs will be handled, treated, disposed, or transferred to another media and document
that the response action will not result in any additional potential exposure conditions due to response
action activities.
State the proposed “reasonable time frame” and provide the justification for that time frame in the context
of any potential for unprotective exposures to exist or develop, COC characteristics, hydrogeologic and
affected property characteristics. If the reasonable time frame is different for the different affected media
or for particular tracts of land, be sure to discuss that. Provide how the proposed response action will
meet the objectives in a reasonable timeframe.
Soil Response Action Objectives
When using removal and/or decontamination with controls or controls only, demonstrate how that
physical control or combination of measures will reliably contain COCs within and/or derived from the
surface soil and subsurface soil PCLE zone materials over time.
Explain how the removal or decontamination action will reduce the concentration of COCs to the critical
surface soil and subsurface soil PCL throughout the soil PCLE zone and prevent COC concentrations
above the critical soil PCLs from migrating beyond the existing boundary of the soil PCLE zone.
